St Mary's Medical Center: "Absolute worst care! I was sene for abdominal pain and told that there was nothing wrong and that they couldn't give me anything for pain without a reason to give it to me. Come to find out I have two hernias and the doctor at st. Mary's obviously missed them on the CAT scan. My pain was severe and I needed help but I received no treatment. It's not the first time that I've received horrible treatment at this hospital. I will never be back." - Kasi
